Katie Waissel has reportedly had another meltdown - between landing in the bottom two during Sunday's X Factor, having a chest infection, and receiving internet death threats - and is threatening to leave the reality competition!

A source explains:

‘She’s very fragile and we are very concerned. We are considering asking her to step aside because it is really affecting the show. She would still be able to do the X Factor tour if she is strong enough. Her well-being is our priority. She has been in tears and saying she can’t carry on. Producers gave Katie maximum opportunity to turn up, but had to shoot some scenes without her. When she did arrive, she was given a very icy reception by her fellow contestants. Katie was really hurt by the reaction because she had been up all night, having panic attacks, and crying hysterically.’

We understand that this is a lot to deal with, but unfortunately, this is a part of being in the industry!

If she can't take the pressure that comes with success, then we think she better seriously re-evaluate her pursuit of this career!

It's not always going to be an easy ride, bb, but you always have to put your best foot forward!
